What are those little bumps on people's upper or lower arm?

I know that they are not pimples, but they sort of look like that. Will I get them? What causes them?

Answer #1

It’s eczema and yes you can get them it’s runs in the family and also spreads through contact

Answer #2

That’s a disease, it is known as Keratosis Pilaris and it effects around half the world population.

Answer #3

they can be one of three things… its either moles… or goose bumps… or little ingrown hairs. can you explain a lil more?

Answer #4

I would…but I don’t know anything about them…sorry.

Answer #5

possibly keratosis pilaris? it’s just little bumps on the skin… it’s a genetic condition…

Answer #6

eczema is not contagious…

Answer #7

it’s not a disease!

Answer #8

That is exactly what they look like! Can you get them through contact with some one that has them?

Answer #9

That’s what my doctor said…. Oh well

Answer #10

Genetic means you inherit the condition… It is not contagious… And it happens in a large percent of people.

Answer #11

I somehow doubt that. Your doctor may have said it runs through families, which is true. Because it has genetic links. But it is not contagious.

Answer #12

I’m not joking here that’s what he said. But whatever I’ll ask him about next time

Answer #13

Yeah, I got them.

Answer #14

it depends on the bumps. It could be anything from pimples to a skin disease/disformation.

Answer #15

It’s not a disease…?
